Disclaimer: I could tell you that I own these characters, but that would be lying. And V would not approve.
A/N: This series is presented in three parts--Part I taking place prior to the film/graphic novel, Part II during the timeframe of the film/graphic novel, and Part III in my own AU post-movie world.
Part I
Red
For days, the only color he could see was red.
At first, he didn't notice. This place was so horribly drab, so monochromatic. Sarabande in Grey. The absence of color was hardly unusual.
He stood in a long line, awaiting another injection. A woman at the front had apparently become suicidal. She lunged at the doctor.
The guards had her on the floor in seconds. They beat her, with fists and truncheons; kicked her, in the stomach and the head.
Bright, red, fresh blood stood in stark relief against grey floors, grey walls, grey flesh.
He saw nothing but red.
